Monitoring of the excavation of foundation trenches here exposed a small number of disarticulated human bones in the redeposited sandy subsoil. The bones may represent the remains of people buried in the graveyard associated with the 12th-century Cistercian abbey some distance to the west of the site. The bones were removed only where they were disturbed by machine.
